CHICAGO, July 30.—0n0 million dol
lars Is a conservative estimate of tho
loss from damage dono to property by
wind, water nud tiro during the terrible
storm which has visited this locality*
The loss was heaviest in tho southwest
ern portion of the city and suburbs,
which is built on low lying laud skirted
by the prairie. Few houses, big or little,
escaped a flooding through the basement
on account of tho inadequacy of the
sewers to carry off tho heavy rainfall.
Scores of liousos, most of them occupied
by the owners, were completely or par
tially destroyed. Hundreds of roofs,
outbuildings aud fences were blown
away, and many thousand dollars worth
of furniture was washed away or water
soaked.
The inhabitants of tho inundated dis
tricts were mostly poor families, who
owned their houses, which were de
stroyed, and many <>f them are now
homeless as well as penniless. The |
poor unfortunates who rented houses 1
in tho pathway of tho storm aro in an
even worse plight, and immediate relief
is needed to keep them from destitution.
Those homeless ones have sent a vigor
ous lotter to'the mayor,complaining of the
neglect of the authorities to remove the
flood of water left around their desolate
homos by the storm of three weeks ago.
or to provide adequate drainage as a
precaution against Hoods.
Many narrow escapes frotn drowning
wore reported to tho police* The living

fortunates who were injured, are

reaved families aro utterly destitute,
being unable to gve their dead a decent
burial. Tho building inspectors exam
ined the ruins of tho Ferdinandus houso
whore tho horror occurred, and exoner
ated tho contractor of tho unfinished
house which nearly blotted out two fam
ilies in its downfall. Tho coroner's jury
did likewise, and recommended
an imwediuto change in tho scwerngo
system of that part of tho city.
A reliof fund has been started for the

express trains about five hours. Tho
town of Laurel was Hooded, and three
feot of water stands iu its streets. Fears
are entertained that Adutns' dam will
burst and create a second Johnstown dis
aster on a small scale.
Tho grcatost damage throughout tho
stato is to growing crops. Corn is ruined
and tho small estimate of the prospective
poach crop is cut still lower b.v this
storm. Tho strawberries wore failures,
and tho poor prospect for poaches brings
many farmers in that section to tho
verge of ruin.

it is, let us see just how load pencils are
made. The wood of a poucil, you know,
is cedar, the lead, as it is called, graph
ite. Whito wood is sometimes used, but;
only for inferior grades. In general,
the quality of the wood can bo deter- 1
mined very largely by its color? Tho
redder, the better quality; the more yel
low, tho poorer. Our wood comes to us
all from Florida—in slabs, each exactly
a pencil's leugtli and of six pencils'
width. A machine makes six length
wise grooves in each of tho slabs, and
in these grooves is tho graphite laid.
On tho grooved and graphitcd slab is
glued another grooved slab, so closely
that the line of joining cannot be seen.
Now comes in tho answer to your ques
tion. This combination of graphite
and board must be cut into six pencil
shapes. It tan be done all at once, or
in six separate cuttings. ISlark tho
difibreuce. If the machine of six saw
bla lea is used, just after tho middle is
passed, tho tendency is for the part
already out to spring and bend to either
side. Parts of the wood below are, in
consequence, tightly compressed, and
the graphite within softened or broken.
With the singlo saw blade all this is
avoided. Of course, using the single
saw blade, tho cost, is much increased.
And so in the high-priced pencil is the
lead tho same all the way through.
"The shaping of the pencil, tho mak
ing it round or hexagonal, is done at tho
same time the slabs are sawed into their
parts. The better grades of pencils
then go through an immense amount of
smoothing and finishing. The varnish
is then put on, tho pencil being forced
by machinery through fixed brushes wet
with it. This particular process is ro
pouted several times. The polishing
thereafter is done mainly by hand."
So saying, the big manufacturer re
turned to his desk and correspondence),

A European Hair Mart.
Tho demand for false hair at. the pres
ent day is Very great. Wo call get some
idea of the magnitude of the traffics from
the fact that the hair lnctoliatits of Lon
don alone import five tons of hair nu
nuallv, ami that the Parisian dealers
harvost upward of '200,000 pounds of
hair a year. It is mostly black hair,
and is collected in Brittany and tho
south of France. The market cannot
be supplied simply by chance clippings;
there must bo moro ample sources and
regular seasons for obtaining the supply.
There aro itinerant doa'ers who pur
chase hair, paying for each head of linir
from one to five francs, according in its
weight and beauty, the Weight ranging
from eleven to sixteen ounces. The
peasant girls aro quite willing to part
with their hair, and will accept- silks,
laces, cheap jewelry, etc., with which
the traffickers are well supplied. Tho
1 Attar attend tho fairs and merry-mak
ings lis the best place to ply their Voca
tion, stud the girls brihg their hrtir to
market just as tlioy would peas, cab
bages, etc.
The girls stand in n ring waiting to
be shorn, with their caps in tlioir hands
and their long hair combed out and
hanging to their waists. Tho doa'er,
who is often a man, but sometimes a
womnti, ties up ondh crop of hair in a
wisp by itself and tosses It Into a large
basket. The girls sacrifice sonic of
their Vanity along with their hair, hut
it does not worry tlieni long. They
want the money, feel more comfortable,
and tho close titling caps they wear
hide the loss. ThOii, too, will not tho
hair gt'ow again {
The lirtir is drCssod rtud Sotted in the
wholesale houses, and sold to the hair
workers at. ten francs a pound. The ;
retail dealer, in turn, obtains a good
profit, knowing that if one customer re i
fuse to pay it another will readily liny. |
Light hair is almost exclusively a (lor ;
man product. The dealers claim to he
nb'.o to distinguish tho natiomilitV of,
hair, whether French or German, Lug
lish or Irish, Scotch or Welsh. Nay,
more, tho.y assert that they can name
the p ovinco in which the hair was
gathered even between two districts of
Central Prance, though tlicy may not
bo many miles apart. The difTorcneo is
so very slight that the ordinary physi
ologist wou'd not bo able to detect any.

A Colored Boy Preacher.
There is in Brunswick a little colored
hoy whoso years prolmbly do not exceed
eight, who has never attended school,
but. whose natural genius is remarkable.
His name is Alexander Washington,
lie is known as 'Treacher," from the
fact that, without, license and without
denomination, he makes his lixing by
prcuchtiig to the colored people, el arg
ing sometimes five cents, somfinics $1
for a sermon, according to the nature of
his congregation, On a recent Sunday
a reporter heard this juvenile c.xhortcr
deliver a discourse on the gamblers,
near the Pope ratlin's dock. In a
• piaint but thoroughly sensible manner
he condemned them t everlasting
death. His use of Muglish so readily,
always having words to oxpiess a thought
is eerfninly remarkable. 'Mm colored
people almost reverence and worship
him on account, of his unusual inlclli
genco. 1 Brunswick ((hi.) Times.

An Editor's ExpetfenC6.'
Major Sidney Herbert, n well.-known journalist (a
i agricultural circles, writes Aprl. IBtb, 1880: Bome
' five years ago 1 wrote a letter stating that Swift's
Specific had cored inc of severe rheumatism. Since
that time I have had no return of tlio rheumatic
troubles, although frequently exposed to the influ
ences that produced former attacks. Several of my
friends had a similar experience, and urc firm in their
conviction that 8. 8. S. brought a permanent cure.
The searching power of this medicine is shown in
the fact that it developed a scrofulous taint that was
conspicuous In my blood over thirty years ago, and
has removed tho last trace of it. I hove also tested
8. S. 8. as a tonic aftor a severe attack of malarial
fover, which kept mo in bed for three months, and
am convinced tnat Itn curative and strengthening
properties Insured my recovery from that illness, as
1 was in a very low condition of health.
